Ulation are paupcrs. and are relieved

many more lunatic women imam men.

by cliffs or walls from one thousand to
nearly three thousand feet high. which
are scantly covered with fir trees. To
the southwest is circular island,
which our party named Wizard Island.
1t is six hundred feet high. and i'm the
top is circular hole, or extinct crater,
four hundred and seyenty-iiye feet in
diameter, named by us the Witch's
Caldron The base of the island is
covered with very heavy and hard
rocks, over which scarcely score Of
human feet have ever trod. Further
are deep beds of ashes and
cinders. giving evidence of the
most intense heat in days gone
by. Within the crater rs without, the
surface is entirely covered with volcanic
rocks, but here i forms one of the hot
test places on clear day in August

sun beats down upon the rocky surface
and reflects its rays from ten thousand

through Rock Island on the .05 train on
the c., r. |. & p. road last evening

shoulders above all other in the world
but who was twice defeated by the Aus

lieve by his pictures; is less of the hand

only little over feet, 8 inches in height,
is bronzed by exposure, and has reddish
yellow mOustache. His dress was not
particularly neat nor stylish, and he gave
the impression of rough>and ready
man, rather independent of everybody
ana not particularly interested in anybody
not even himself He was quiet and
had no inclination to talk either of boat
ing or other matters.
Hanlan is travelling entirely alone,
taking with him on his trip to Australia
neither his wife nor trainer. His one rae.
ing boat and as little baggage as possible,
are with him, the boat being safely
packed in a wooden box in which il is
surrounded by thick layers of cotton
The trip is essentially money making
trip. He was well pleased with Austria

brought away more money than would
suffice for an ordinary man to retire on
Beach expects TO and probably will de
feat Hanlan, and after their great match
both will very likely retire, as they are
